It's only when you expect a moon out of something or someone you feel very disappointed. However take a flop director like Goldie Behl, whose Bas itna sa khawb hai was 'terrible' to say the least and Abhishek Bacchan whose last couple of films haven't set the box office afire, and you expect nothing great, then why do you come out so disappointed after watching a film like Drona?
Actually disappointment is an understatement...the film is thoroughly a shoddy work...in last four years this is perhaps the only film that's got a bad review on my blog, and I assure, it really deserves it.
Hackneyed, characterization of Abhishek, orphan, neglected by caretakers, presented in a manner no sympathy is derived if that was the intention, supposed to be blue blood royal enthrusted with task of guarding elixir 'amrit' from demons...sounds like a fairy tale stuff? No...it dosen't belong to that genre also.
Most idotic thing that has been done is that Priyanka has a better Introduction and better action scenes, even KK has better introduction, it seems Abhishek and Goldie worked hard on everything else except Abhishek & script. After lot of borrowing from batman movie trying to pass it as quasi mythological stuff, with swishing special effects, the net result is a yawn.
Supposed to be a superhero film, this effort makes Abhishek dosen't even look a hero...and that's speaking a lot when today Abhishek is a leading hero of the Industry, and if he does a few more films like this, he will lose his even his dedicated fan following, which is plenty still.
I have never seen a single film fall so flat in last many years, and i will be surprised if it does well. I am not sure what the target audience of the film is...kids certainly will reject it, they have much more intelligence than this film assumes they possess.
There is a line in the film "Humhe Shristi Ko Bachana hoga" it makes you laugh after few repititions...so watch it if you like special effects...there is nothing else.
I had heard that there are three types of films, one, that make you laugh, second that make you cry, and third type that provoke you to stand up and take action... this film makes you laugh for all the reasons, cry, that you wasted money and you'll take action that you will take care before shelling money on Goldie Behl and Abhishek combine once again.
